Explosions in Tehran Amid U.S.-Iran Conflict Escalation

On Wednesday, explosions rocked Tehran as tensions escalated following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. President Donald Trump predicted that the conflict could conclude within two to three weeks, suggesting a conciliatory approach.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the war would end only if guarantees were provided to prevent future flare-ups. Iranian state media reported significant damage from strikes near the former U.S. embassy in Tehran.

The strikes also resulted in 14 injuries, including an 11-year-old girl. The conflict has led to thousands of deaths and millions displaced across the region.

In Lebanon, Israeli strikes reportedly killed seven people, including senior Hezbollah commanders. The ongoing military actions have caused economic repercussions, with oil prices soaring and global markets reacting to Trump's comments about a potential end to the war.
